品切れでご迷惑をおかけしている「けものフレンズBD付オフィシャルガイドブック」ですが、1巻・2巻ともに追加の重版が決定しました。ネット書店でのご予約も順次再開しております。 #けものフレンズhttps://t.co/UQ4OextRCc
As reported, due to the huge number that far exceeded the initial expectation, major stores in Japan had to
stop accepting orders for the first volume temporarily before the official release day of March 25. Now the
second volume ranks No.1 in Amazon Japan's top-seller book ranking of all genre, while the first volume is
in the second and the third volume in the third. Because there is no individual release of the discs is planned
for now, fans have to buy the guidebooks to own the anime.
